The Xfinity X1 entertainment operating system (ooh, what a catchy name) is Comcast's new platform, which they have been developing since 2010 using the Open Source Linux Platform as their base. This allows them to have multiple products that can run on their version of Linux.

What does Xfinity offer? Xfinity provides three basic services: cable TV, internet, and phone. The company offers bundles of two or all three services, generally at a discount. Bundling is usually the best way to get value for your money with a cable service, and Xfinity is no exception.

Included in an Xfinity Package: Alternatively, in some areas, Netflix is also offered as part of Xfinity packages along with premium channels. You'll see the charge reflected under the "Bundled Services" or "Xfinity Package" section of your monthly bill. To find out more, visit xfinity.com/learn/offers.

Is Xfinity X1 any good? The Xfinity X1 is a good DVR, but it doesn't have as much storage or as many tuners as other providers' DVRs. It's also expensive at $24.95 a month for 150 hours of HD cloud storage and six tuners. DIRECTV and DISH have better, cheaper DVR service.
